THE  COMPOSITION  OF  THE  COMMERCIAL  FEED- 
ING STUFFS  SOLD  IN  CONNECTICUT.* 

During  the  autumn  of  1901,  agents  of  this  Station  collected 
in  forty-one  towns  and  villages  of  this  State  two  hundred  and 
sixty-four  samples  of  commercial  feeding  stuffs. 

The  analyses  of  these  feeds  appear  in  Table  IV,  pages  20-39, 
This  table  shows : 

( 1 )  The  chemical  composition  of  each  of  the  samples  as  deter- 
mined by  the  methods  of  analysis  adopted  by  the  Association 
of  Official  Agricultural  Chemists. 

(2)  The  average  composition  as  determined  by  these  analyses. 

(3)  The  digestible  nutrients  of  these  feeds.  These  are  calcu- 
lated by  the  use  of  the  digestion  coefficients  compiled  by  Jor- 
dan in  Bulletin  yy  of  the  office  of  Experiment  Stations,  and 
which,  so  far  as  they  apply  to  the  feeds  discussed  in  this 
report,  are  given  in  Table  I  on  page  14. 

Cotton  Seed  Meal. 

The  six  samples  analyzed  were  of  excellent  quality,  the  per- 
centage of  protein  ranging  from  43.1  to  45.7,  and  averaging 
44.4;  in  every  case  being  fully  up  to  the  manufacturer's  guar- 
antee. 

The  minimum  percentage  of  protein  is  equivalent  to  6.89 
per  cent,  of  nitrogen.  A  considerable  number  of  samples  of 
cotton  seed  meal  analyzed  in  March,  1902,  contained  less  nitro- 
gen than  this.  The  cotton-seed  oil  producers,  in  convention 
at  New  Orleans,  prescribed  that  either  "choice"  or  'prime" 
cotton  seed  meal  should  contain  not  less  than  6.58  per  cent, 
of  nitrogen  (8  per  cent,  of  ammonia). 

The  average  percentages  of  protein  and  fat,  and  the  average 
prices,  for  the  last  three  years  have  been :

*  The  microscopic  work  in  connection  with  the  analyses  of  these  feeds 
was  done  by  Mr.  A.  L.  Winton  ;  the  chemical  analyses  were  made  by 
Messrs.  Winton,  Ogden  and  Silverman.  The  results  were  prepared  for 
publication  by  the  Director.

Linseed  Meal. 

Confusion  still  exists  in  the  use  of  the  terms,  "old  process" 
and  "new  process." 

By  the  "old  process"  the  oil  is  removed  by  hydraulic  pressure, 
while  the  "new  process"  extracts  the  oil  by  a  solvent,  usually 
benzine.  New  process  meal  commonly  has  less  than  2)^  per  cent, 
of  oil  remaining  in  it,  while  old  process  meal  has  three  or  more 
times  that  amount.  The  analyses  show  that  samples  4283, 
4302,  4413  and  4545  are  old  process  meals,  while  4320,  4317, 
4309  and  2439  ^^s  ^^w  process,  although  4309  was  sold  as 
"old  process"  meal. 

The  samples  analysed  this  year  were  of  good  quality,  one 
of  them  containing  44  per  cent,  of  protein,  an  abnormally  high 
percentage.  The  average  percentages  of  protein  and  fat  found 
in  linseed  meal,  with  the  prices  for  the  last  three  years,  are 
as  follows : 

1899  1900  1901 

Process.  New.  Old.  New.  Old.  New.  Old. 

No.  of  Samples 48              23  34 

Percentage  of  Protein 37.7         33.8  38.4         31.3  39.0        34.4 

"            ■'    Fat 2.4           7.7             24           6.7             1.8           7.7 

Average  price $28.10      29.00  32.50        31.00  30.00      30.50 

New  process  meai  has  from  four  to  seven  per  cent,  more  of 
protein,  and  from  four  to  five  per  cent,  less  of  fat,  than  the 
old  process  meal. 

Guarantees. 

Samples  4320,  4309,  2439  were  guaranteed  to  contain  38 
per  cent,  of  protein  and  i  per  cent,  of  fat,  and  fully  met  this 
guarantee. 

The  composition  of  samples  4413,  guaranteed  32  per  cent, 
of  protein  and  5  of  fat,  and  4545,  guaranteed  34  per  cent,  of 
protein  and  6  of  fat,  fully  met  the  guarantees. 

Samples  4317  and  4283  had  no  guarantees. 

Wheat  Feeds. 

These  are  by-products  in  the  manufacture  of  wheat  flour. 
Several  different  processes  of  milling  are  in  common  use,  yield- 
ing by-products  which  are  not  entirely  alike  in  composition. 


WHEAT    FEEDS.  5 

There  are  also  differences  in  composition  between  the  products 
from  winter  wheat  and  those  from  spring  wheat. 

Wheat  Bran  consists  of  the  outer  layers  of  the  wheat  berry, 
which  are  dark  in  color  and  do  not  easily  pulverize. 

Wheat  Middlings,  as  found  in  the  feed  market,  consist  of 
inner  layers  of  the  covering  of  the  berry,  which  are  lighter  in 
color  and  more  easily  pulverized  than  bran,  and  of  other  parts 
from  which  fine  white  flour  cannot  be  made. 

Red  Dog  Flour  is  the  poorest  grade  of  flour;  off  color  and 
often  sold  as  a  cattle  food.  It  is  also  used  for  paste  and  in 
making  "pancake  leather" — composed  of  leather  scraps  and 
flour  paste  compacted  by  hydraulic  pressure,  stated  to  be  made 
up  into  soles  for  children's  shoes. 

Many  mills  do  not  sell  bran  and  middlings  separately,  but 
run  them  together,  often  with  other  waste  wheat  products, 
and  sell  the  mixture  as  "Mixed  Feed." 

With  a  single  exception  the  samples  of  wheat  feed  were 
not  accompanied  with  any  statements  of  guaranteed  composi- 
tion. 

In  the  table  which  follows,  the  wheat  products  from  the  mills 
named  below  are  classed  as  winter  wheat.

Bran  from  Winter  Wheat. 

The  six  samples  examined  show  considerable  range  in  the 
percentage  of  protein,  from  14.75,  i"  Canadian  bran,  to  18.06. 
All  appear  to  be  free  from  adulteration. 

Bran  from  Spring  Wheat. 

The  eighteen  samples  examined  were  all  of  excellent  quality 
as  judged  by  Chemical  composition. 

Middlings. 

All  the  samples,  both  of  winter  and  of  spring  wheat  mid- 
dlings, were  of  good  quality,  the  spring  middlings  containing 
considerably  more  protein. 

Mixed  Feed. 

In  the  table  are  included  26  analyses  of  winter  wheat  mixed 
feed,  and  nine  of  spring  wheat  feed.  In  every  case  the  feed 
is,  judged  by  chemical  analyses  alone,  of  excellent  quality. 

Average  Composition  of  the  Various  Wheat  Products. 

The  average  composition  of  the  various  wheat  feeds  as  sold 
in  Connecticut  in  the  last  three  years,  with  their  prices,  are 
given  in  the  following  table :

This  table  indicates  that 

1.  The  spring  wheat  products,  as  a  rule,  have  somewhat  higher 
percentages,  both  of  protein  and  fat,  than  the  winter  wheat 
products. 

2.  This  difference  is  rather  more  striking  in  the  case  of  mid- 
dlings than  in  that  of  either  bran  or  mixed  feed. 

3.  The  percentages  of  protein  and  of  fat  in  bran  are  rather 
lower  than  in  either  middlings  or  mixed  feed. 

4.  On  the  average  the  winter  wheat  products  sell  at  a  slightly 
higher  price  than  the  spring  wheat  products. 

Guarantees. 

Of  all  the  samples  of  wheat  feeds  examined,  only  one  had  a 
guarantee  of  composition.  This  was  a  middlings  from  N.  L. 
Berry  &  Co.,  Providence,  R.  I.,  in  which  16.85  P^r  cent,  of 
protein  and  5.2  per  cent,  of  fat  were  guaranteed.  The  sample 
contained  18.5  per  cent,  of  protein  and  4.66  per  cent,  of  fat. 


Adulterated  Mixed  Feed. 

Three  samples  of  mixed  feed  have  been  found  to  be  grossly 
adulterated  with  ground  corn-cobs.  Two  of  these  samples, 
Nos.  4295  and  4406,  bore  the  brand,  "Choice  Eclipse  Mixed 
Feed."  Both  were  traced  to  the  W.  R.  Mumford  Co.,  feed 
dealers  of  Chicago,  but  could  be  traced  no  further;  no  reply, 
regarding  these  adulterated  feeds,  being  received  to  letters  of 


8  CONNECTICUT    EXPERIMENT    STATION,    BULLETIN    1 38. 

inquiry  which  were  correctly  addressed  to  this  firm  and  were 
delivered. 

The  third  sample,  4470,  was  stated  to  be  sold  by  D.  C. 
Comstock,  Providence,  R.  L,  under  the  name  "C"  mixed  feed. 
Letters  sent  to  that  address  were  returned,  as  no  such  person 
could  be  found.  We  have  since  heard  that  he  has  left  Provi- 
dence and  has  gone  out  of  business. 

The  fragments  of  corn-cob  were  easily  and  certainly  identi- 
fied by  Mr.  Winton  with  the  microscope.  The  chemical  com- 
position also  establishes  the  fact  of  adulteration.  There  follows 
the  average  composition  of  winter  and  spring  mixed  feed  and 
for  comparison  the  analyses  of  the  adulterated  samples.

Calculation  shows  that  a  mixture  of  75  pounds  of  wheat  feed 
and  25  pounds  of  ground  corn-cobs  would  have  the  same  com- 
position as  these  "Choice  Eclipse"  and  "C"  frauds. 

They  are  frauds  because  sold  under  a  name  applied,  by  the 
produce  exchanges  and  dealers  and  purchasers  alike,  only  to 
feeds  consisting  wholly  of  wheat  products,  being  a  mixture 
of  bran  and  middlings  or  of  all  the  waste  portion  of  the  wheat 
used  for  the  flour  manufacture.  They  are  also  sold  for  the 
same  price  as  genuine  mixed  feed.

Gluten  Meal. 


The  Atlantic  Gluten  Meal,  made  at  Westport,  Conn.,  is  a 
wheat  gluten  containing  42.75  per  cent,  of  protein,  much  more 
than  the  corn  glutens  contain,  and  its  composition  is  fully  up 
to  what  is  guaranteed. 

Only  two  other  brands  of  gluten  meal  were  found  by  our 
sampling  agents :  Cream  Gluten  Meal,  made  by  the  Chas.  Pope 
Glucose  Co.,  and  Chicago  Gluten  Meal,  made  by  the  Glucose 
Sugar  Refining  Co.,  both  of  Chicago. 

The  average  percentages  of  protein  in  the  two  samples  of 
Cream  Gluten  agreed  with  the  guarantee,  but  the  amount  of 
fat  was  nearly  two  per  cent,  below  the  guarantee.  The  guar- 
antee of  39  per  cent,  of  protein  and  2  per  cent  of  fat  in  Chicago 
Gluten  Meal  is  understood  to  refer  to  a  dry  basis.  The  three 
samples  analyzed  contained,  on  the  average,  8.73  per  cent,  of 
moisture,  35.98  of  protein  and  3.42  of  fat,  which  calculated 
to  a  dry  basis,  is  39.4  per  cent,  of  protein  and  3.7  per  cent,  of 
fat. 

Gluten  Feed. 

The  table  contains  analyses  of  a  considerable  number  of 
brands  of  gluten  feed.  The  average  composition  of  each  brand 
is  given  below  with  the  guarantee.

The  Buffalo,  Davenport  and  Marshalltown  Gluten  Feeds  are 
made  by  the  Glucose  Sugar  Refining  Co.  of  Chicago.  If  their 
guarantees  refer  to  water-free  basis,  then  the  goods  sampled 
were  above  the  manufacturer's  guarantee  in  composition,  but 
if  not,  both  the  Buffalo  and  Davenport  feeds  are  below  it.

Germ  Oil  Meal. 

Made  from  corn  germs  by  the  Glucose  Sugar  Refining  Co. 
of  Chicago,  contains,  in  the  dry  substance,  the  guaranteed  per- 
centage of  protein,  25.5,  and  of  fat,  10.5. 

Corn  Bran  Sugar  Feed. 

This  material,  apparently  sold  without  guarantee,  contains 
only  about  one  per  cent,  more  of  protein  than  corn  meal  and 
is  not,  therefore,  by  any  means  a  concentrated  feed  which  can 
be  profitably  used  for  supplying  protein  to  balance  a  ration. 

Hominy  Feed  and  Hominy  Chop. 

Twenty-one  samples  of  this  feed  are  given  in  the  table.  The 
percentage  composition  is  quite  uniform.  This  feed,  which 
has  sold  for  about  the  same  price  as  wheat  bran,  contains  about 
five  per  cent,  less  of  protein  and  three  or  four  per  cent,  more 
of  fat  than  the  wheat  feeds.  It  is,  therefore,  a  more  costly 
feed  to  use.     Generally  it  is  sold  without  a  guarantee. 

The  Niagara  Hominy  Meal  has,  however,  a  guarantee  of 

11  per  cent,  of  protein  and  8  of  fat,  which  is  fully  met  in  the 
three  samples  analyzed. 

Hunter  Bros.  Hominy  Feed  is  guaranteed  to  contain  11  per 
cent,  of  protein  and  7.70  per  cent,  of  fat,  and  the  single  analysis 
shows  somewhat  more  than  these  percentages. 

Cerealine  Feed. 

This  is  a  corn  product,  not  greatly  differing  from  hominy 
chop  in  composition,  containing  three  fourths  of  a  per  cent, 
more  of  protein,  about  one  and  a  half  per  cent,  less  of  fat  and 
two  and  a  half  less  of  fiber. 

Rye  Feed. 

Analyses  of  six  samples  are  given  in  the  table.  One  of  them, 
4391,  is  very  different  from  the  others  in  composition  and  quite 
inferior  to  them,  having  four  per  cent,  less  of  protein.  The 
other  five  samples  have  the  usual  composition  of  rye  feed.  No 
guarantees  of  composition  were  given  with  these  feeds.

Buckwheat  Middlings. 

This  feed,  which  has  been  made  and  sold  for  years  by  the 
Quinnebaug  Store  of  Danielson,  is  richer  in  protein  than  the 
gluten  feeds,  is  moderate  in  price  and  is  said  to  give  excellent 
results  as  a  feed  for  milch  cows.

Of  the  twenty-seven  samples,  of  which  the  analyses  are  given 
in  the  table  on  pages  34-35,  one,  4335,  is  stated  to  contain  wheat 
middlings  which  explains  its  higher  percentage  of  protein. 

A  single  sample,  4537,  stated  to  be  ground  by  M.  L.  Critten- 
den, at  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  is  inferior,  containing  only  8.75  per  cent, 
of  protein;  the  others,  most  of  them  ground  at  local  mills  in 
this  State,  have  the  average  composition  and  are  of  good 
quality. 

Provender  ground  at  the  small  mills  in  this  State  is  generally 
of  better  quality  than  that  which  is  brought  in  from  the  West, 

The  Sterling  Provender,  4537,  above  referred  to,  has  a 
guarantee  of  7.9  per  cent,  protein  and  6.3  per  cent,  fat.  It 
is  far  below  guarantee  in  both  particulars. 

Sample  4490,  made  by  E,  C.  Dennis,  has  a  guarantee  of  12 
per  cent,  protein  and  2.5  per  cent,  of  fat.  The  protein  found 
is  nearly  2  per  cent,  less  than  the  guarantee.

De-Fi  Corn  and  Oat  Feed,  etc.  The  Vim  Oat  Feed  and  Royal 
Oat  Feed  consist  largely  of  oat  hulls,  as  is  shown  both  by 
chemical  and  microscopic  examination.  Victor  Corn  and  Oat 
Feed  also  contains  some  wheat.  None  of  these  things  need  any 
special  discussion. 

The  "corn  and  oat  feeds"  as  a  rule  consist  of  manufacturing 
rubbish  and  cannot  be  used  economically  for  feeding  purposes.

This  mixture,  put  up  by  the  American  Cereal  Co.  of  Chicago, 
judged  from  the  five  analyses  in  the  table,  has  a  fairly  uniform 
composition,  and  is  sold  under  a  guarantee  of  10.8  per  cent,  of 
protein  and  3.5  per  cent,  of  fat.  All  of  the  samples  contained 
considerably  more  than  the  guaranteed  amounts.

ground  carob  beans,  linseed,  a  wheat  product,  cotton  seed  and 
fenugreek,  containing  about  the  same  percentages  of  protein, 
fat  and  nitrogen-free  extracts  as  the  gluten  feeds. 

The  analyses  of  six  animal  meals,  and  other  poultry  feeds, 
are  also  given  in  the  table,  and  at  the  end  are  analyses  of  four 
condimental  foods  or  medicines. 

CONDIMENTAL   AND    MEDICINAL    CaTTLE    FoODS. 

Poultriotone  is  a  mixture  of  wheat  offal,  corn,  bone,  salt  and 
charcoal. 

Pasture  Stock  Food  contains  corn,  linseed,  a  wheat  product, 
ginger,  charcoal  and  salt. 

Imperial  Egg  Food  contains  a  wheat  product,  bone,  carbonate 
of  lime,  red  pepper,  with  6  per  cent,  of  sand. 

Wilbur's  Seed  Meal  Horse  and  Cattle  Food  contains  gluten 
meal,  wheat,  linseed,  charcoal  and  salt. 

Regarding  these  condimental  foods  we  can  only  repeat  what 
was  said  last  year. 

The  claims  that  by  the  use  of  condiments  and  spices  the 
digestibility  of  food  can  be  increased  and  in  this  way  a  saving 
of  feed  can  be  effected,  have  no  basis  in  fact.  Noi  experiments 
have  demonstrated  or  made  even  probable  such  an  efifect.  Stock 
feeders  will  be  very  slow  to  believe  that  cotton-seed  meal,  linseed 
meal,  wheat  feeds,  or  corn  products  can  be  made  more  easily 
digestible  or  even  more  acceptable  to  healthy  cattle  by  mixing 
with  them  Epsom  salts,  charcoal,  ginger  or  fenugreek. 

The  Prices  of  Condimental  Feeds.  The  cheapest  of  those 
collected  in  this  state  in  1901  cost  about  20  cents  per  pound,  the 
most  expensive  25  cents. 

As  foods,  pure  and  simple,  such  prices  are  ridiculous  and 
prohibitive.  If  in  large  lots  they  can  be  bought  at  half  or  a 
quarter  of  the  rates  for  small  packages ;  even  such  a  discount 
would  make  them  twice  as  costly  as  our  most  expensive  stand- 
ard feeds,  and  no  one  of  them  is  as  concentrated  a  feed  as 
either  cotton-seed  meal,  linseed  meal  or  gluten  meal. 

In  buying  medicines  mixed  at  a  drug  store  one  pays  very 
much  more  in  proportion  than  he  would  for  the  ingredients 
singly,  in  bulk,  and  in  much  larger  quantity.  He  pays  for  the 
convenience  of  having  all  of  them  accessible  in  one  place  in  as 


14         CONNECTICUT    EXPERIMENT    STATION,    BULLETIN    1 38. 

■small  amount  as  he  desires,  mixed  accurately  according  to  his 
written  directions  and  put  up  to  be  conveniently  carried. 

There  is,  however,  absolutely  no  sense  in  buying  at  a  very 
high  price  a  lot  of  drugs  of  rather  mild  medicinal  properties, 
of  unknown  kinds  and  in  unknown  proportions,  which  claim 
to  take  the  place  of  a  part  of  the  food  and  to  cure  almost  every 
ill  and  defect  that  cattle  and  fowls  are  heir  to. 

Salt,  charcoal,  Epsom  salts,  sulphur,  fenugreek,  gentian, 
<:ayenne  and  ginger: — they  can  all  be  bought  probably  in  any 
village  in  Connecticut,  they  are  already  in  the  stables  of  many 
dairy  farmers  and  are  used  by  them,  their  value  is  well  known, 
and  also  their  uselessness  for  the  treatment  of  serious  illnesses.

The  use  of  the  above  table  is  quite  simple.  Suppose  analysis 
shows  a  certain  sample  of  cotton-seed  meal  to  contain  43.5  per 
cent,  of  protein ;  that  is,  43.5  pounds  of  protein  in  100  pounds 
of  the  meal.  It  is  desired  to  know  how  much  digestible  protein 
are  contained  in  100  pounds  of  meal.  The  table  of  "digestion 
coefficients"  shows  that  of  every  100  pounds  of  crude  protein

PURCHASE    OF    COMMERCIAL    FEEDS.  I  5 

in  cotton-seed  meal  88  pounds  are  digestible.  It  follows  by 
the  rule  of  three  (loo  is  to  88  as  43.5  is  to  38.28),  that  of  the 
43.5  pounds  of  protein,  38.28  pounds  are  digestible.  To  apply 
the  table,  multiply  the  percentage  found  on  analysis  by  the 
proper  coefficient  taken  from  the  table  and  divide  the  product 
by  100.  The  result  will  be  the  percentage  amount  of  digestible 
protein,  fiber,  etc.,  as  the  case  may  be. 

Regarding  the  Purchase  of  Commercial  Feeding-Stuffs. 

It  needs  to  be  constantly  borne  in  mind  that  feeding-stuffs 
<ire  bought  to  supply  a  deficiency  of  protein  in  those  which  are 
-usually  raised  on  the  farm. 

Hay,  corn  fodder,  ensilage  and  stover  form  the  basis  and 
make  up  the  bulk  of  the  cattle  food  and  should  supply  all  the 
coarse  feed,  as  well  as  most  of  the  starch,  sugar  and  fat  which 
are  needed. 

They  are,  however,  deficient  in  protein.  The  feeder's  aim 
then  is,  or  should  be,  to  buy  digestible  protein  at  as  low  a  price 
as  he  can,  in  forms  relished  by  his  stock.  He  is  not  in  the 
market  to  buy  mixtures  of  cattle  medicine  and  food,  nor  starchy 
foods,  nor  woody  fiber,  nor  the  many  wastes  of  factories,  where 
so-called  "breakfast  goods"  for  human  use  are  made. 

It  will  very  rarely  pay  him  to  buy  anything  which  contains 
as  little  protein  as  corn  meal.  Corn  meal  he  can  raise  much 
cheaper  than  he  can  usually  buy  it — ^and  corn  meal  fed  with 
hay  or  ensilage  needs  the  addition  of  some  feed  richer  in  pro- 
tein, in  order  to  avoid  waste  of  starchy  matter  in  feeding. 

Table  II  is  a  list  of  the  commercial  feeding-stuffs  mentioned 
in  this  Bulletin  with  the  percentages  of  protein  and  fat  in  them, 
and  their  average  prices,  arranged  according  to  the  per  cent, 
of  protein,  the  ingredient  which  the  buyer  is  chiefly  concerned 
with. 

Study  of  the  table  shows  that  we  have  five  or  six  distinct 
groups  of  feeding-stuffs : 

1.  Cotton-seed  meal  and  Atlantic  gluten  with  over  40  per  cent, 
of  protein  and  costing  respectively  $28.80  and  $30.00  per  ton. 

2.  The  linseed  and  gluten  meals  and  buckwheat  middlings, 
containing  between  30  and  40  per  cent,  of  protein,  the  prices 
ranging  from  $20.00  to  $33.30  per  ton. 


1 6         CONNECTICUT   EXPERIMENT    STATION,    BULLETIN    I38. 

3.  The  gluten  feeds  containing  from  20  to  30  per  cent,  of  pro- 
tein, prices  ranging  from  $23.00  to  $25.00  per  ton. 

4.  The  wheat  feeds,  H.  O.  dairy  feed  and  rye  feed,  having 
between  15  and  20  per  cent,  of  protein  and  costing  from 
$21.00  to  $25.00  per  ton. 

5.  Lower  grade  feeds  which  the  feeder  of  dairy  stock  need  not 
consider  at  all  in  buying  protein  to  balance  a  ration  made  up 
of  home-grown  fodder. 

It  will  also  be  noticed  that  the  percentages  of  fat  in  these 
feeds  are  not  very  unlike,  ranging  between  1.4  and  5.5  per  cent., 
with  the  exception  of  cotton-seed  meal,  old  process  linseed  meal, 
hominy  chops  and  buckwheat  middlings,  so  that  a  rough  com- 
parison of.  the  feeds  can  be  made,  taking  account  of  protein 
alone,  as  that  is  the  ingredient  which  the  feeder  is  chiefly  con- 
cerned in  getting. 

Such  a  comparison  would  show  the  following: 

If  20  pounds  of  Protein  in  Cotton  Seed  Meal  cost... $0.65 

Then  20  pounds  of  Protein  in  Atlantic  Gluten  Meal  costs  about..  .70 

"                    "             Linseed  Meals                  "           '•    _.  .82 

"                    "            other  Gluten  Meals         "           "    ..  .88 

"                    "            Gluten  Feeds                    "           "    _.  .93 
"                    "            Wheat  and   Rye   Feeds  and  H.  O. 

Dairy  Feed  cost  about 1.23 

"  "  Corn  and  Oat  Feeds  costs  about 2.54-2.91 

The  above  is  not  intended  to  do  more  than  make  a  rough  but 
practically  just  statement  of  the  comparative  cost  of  protein 
in  the  several  classes  of  feeding-stuffs.  Of  course  all  feeds 
contain  other  valuable  food  ingredients  besides  protein  and  fat, 
but  they  are  not  ingredients  which  the  feeder  needs  to  buy. 

As"  a  general  rule,  he  cannot  afford  to  buy  anything  belong- 
ing in  class  5.  Home-grown  corn  meal  makes  anything  in  this 
group  superfluous. 

It  is  the  part  of  economy  to  raise  all  ihe  corn  meal  which  is 
needed  at  home,  not  to  buy  anything  to  balance  the  cattle  ration 
containing  less  protein  than  wheat  feeds,  and  to  let  all  condi- 
mental  and  medicinal  cattle  foods  alone.

"Cheap"  and  low  grade  oat  feeds  do  not  contain  what  the 
feeder  needs  to  buy  for  his  stock,  and  they  are  therefore  worth- 
less to  him.

It  appears  from  the  foregoing  discussion  and  tables  of 
analyses, 

1.  Cotton-seed  meal,  linseed  meal,  the  gluten  meals  and  feeds, 
and  the  factory  mixed  feeds  of  the  American  Cereal  Co.  and 
the  H.  O.  Company  are,  as  a  rule,  sold  with  a  guaranteed  per- 
centage of  protein  and  fat  as  is  required  by  the  state  law. 
On  the  other  hand,  the  wheat  feeds,  and  the  corn  feeds — other 
than  those  named  above — as  well  as  most  other  feeds,  are,  as 
a  rule,  sold  without  guarantees,  which  is  contrary  to  law. 

2.  The  only  evidence  of  deliberate  fraud  in  the  feed  market 
which  is  shown  by  the  analyses,  is  the  mixing  of  finely  ground 


SUMMARY.  19 

corn  cobs  with  wheat  feed.  The  brand  of  one  of  these  mixtures 
of  cobs  and  wheat  is  "Choice  EcHpse  Mixed  Feed,"  sold  by  the 
W.  R.  Mumford  Co.,  528  Rialto  Bldg.,  Chicago,  111.  The 
other,  "C  Mixed  Feed,"  was  sold  by  D.  C.  Comstock,  Provi- 
dence, R.  I. 

3.  There  are  in  the  feed  market  a  considerable  number  of 
very  inferior  oat  feeds,  and  mixed  corn  and  oat  feeds,  which 
contain  a  large  proportion  of  hulls  and  chaff,  and  which  cannot 
profitably  be  used  by  the  stock  feeder  at  any  price. 

4.  The  dairyman's  chief  concern  in  buying  feeds  to  supple- 
ment his  farm  supply  of  corn,  stover,  hay,  etc.,  should  be  to 
buy,  on  the  most  reasonable  terms,  protein  in  digestible  and 
palatable  forms.  Seldom  will  it  pay  him  to  buy  any  feed 
containing  less  than  12  to  15  per  cent,  of  crude  protein.
